Crash Protection Advice

I have the, on mine, obviously not tested :biggrin: but they are neat and reckon would save the frame from rash. I have had the longer ones in the past, race bike, and in a low side it bent the frame lug. These RG ones don't look like they would. I think most of the Challenge guys use them

 

In my opinion engine case protection are the best bet as the main aim of the mushrooms is to protect the fairings. You will always find two distinct camps with mushrooms. Those who say they saved the day and those who will say they wrote off the frame/flipped the bike etc. I have mushrooms on my Ninja, but only engine case protection for the Ducati as I'm more worried about damaging the trellis frame in an off

 

I have the under fairing protectors. Never tested them so I can't tell you how good they are.

But, like you, I didn't want a big hole in my fairing so went for the hidden ones. Obviously if I come off.....there will be a big hole in my fairing :frown:

 

I have the under fairing bobbins and have tested them. They do work, an as they're under the fairing can't catch on anything. They keep the fairing pushed out so it acts like a big ski, protecting what's underneath. I'd recommend fork bobbins too, as I'd just fitted then a few days before my off and they saved the forks.

Cheers. I was fine and so was the bike, only cosmetic damage really. Biggest damage was too my pride. My head as telling me it was too sloppy but I went out anyway and it black ice. I hate to think what the damage would have been had I not fitted crash protection!
